Italian traditional maize varieties : ウィキペディア英語版 | Italian traditional maize varieties Italian traditional maize varieties have been, according to historical, archaeological, botany, morphological, and genetic evidence, molded since the introduction of this exotic cereal crop from the Americas in the sixteenth century.〔The documentation on the arrival and dissemination of maize in Italy was explored by Matthieu Bonafous (1836) and Messedaglia (1924), who established a chronology on the introduction of this crop in the peninsula, and more recently by D. Gasparini (2003)〕 ==History== The speciation and evolution of maize varieties in Italy, by means of man-made adaptive selection, maintained a broad genetic variability for about four centuries. Traditional varieties and ecotypes were sown in the diversified ecological regions of Italy until the introduction of Corn Belt hybrids in the twentieth century presented outstanding ecological adaptation, yield and cooking characteristics. Most Italian agro-ecotypes of maize are from the ''Indurata'' and ''Indentata'' sections and their combinations, characterized by kernels with flint, semi-dent and dent consistency. A few local varieties from the ''Everta'' section (pop-corn) were also grown in Italy. The kernel apex can take different shapes: smooth, horned, cuspidate, rostrum-like or indented. The eco-agronomic characteristics of Italian traditional varieties match the Mediterranean and semi-continental climate of the country, with mostly spring and some summer (post-wheat) sowings; and early (summer) to late (autumn) maturity.
